Saint George, W. Grinstead: pulpit A pulpit is a raised stand for preachers in a Christian church. It comes from the Latin 'pulpitum'  meaning platform or staging. It is raised well above the surrounding floor for audibility and visibility, accessed by steps, with sides coming to about waist height. Many have a canopy known as the 'abat-voix', a sounding board to project the preacher's voice to congregation.

Saint George, W. Grinstead: organ The organ was invented by Ctesibius of Alexandria, a third century BC engineer. Fragments from one early organ in Pompeii are now in the Museo Nazionale, Naples. The first definition is provided by St. Augustine: “apropryte to the Instrument that is made of many pypes: and blowe with belowes." In 757, Emperor Constantine Copronymus sent an organ as a gift to Pepin, King of the Franks. By 1474, S. Petronio, Bologna, had a full scale 50 note organ with 9 stops. The low pipes in the largest cathedral organs produced some of the lowest sounds ever created by man. Perhaps predictably, given its extraordinary capabilities, a somewhat persistent element in the history of the organ is various puritan's criticism of it. Writers from Cicero to Milton saw it as a temptation away from virtue and reason. Nevertheless they continued to grow in range, power and tone. By the 19th century there was a vast amount of music for the organ. And to play it on? As many as 200 stops and 10,647 pipes….
